JPG, PNG and WebP are cleaned without re-saving the image. HEIC and AVIF can't be edited in place, so they're re-saved.

How did this tool do?

A photo remembers where you were.

Phones write the camera, the exact second and the GPS position into every shot. Chat apps and marketplaces often pass that along untouched. Switch between the three states to see what this tool takes out.

  • Reading and cleaning both happen in this tab — the photo is never uploaded
  • JPG, PNG and WebP are edited in place, so quality is untouched
  • Keep the camera details and drop only the coordinates, or clear the lot

Straight from the camera roll — every tag travels with the file.

Example file: ordinary phone metadata written into a stock photo, then cleaned with the tool on this page. The tags listed are the ones this site's reader finds in it — 18 before, 10 after removing the location, none after removing everything, with the image data itself unchanged.

EXIF metadata, answered

What is EXIF data?

Details your camera or phone saves inside a photo: the device, settings, date and time, and often the exact GPS location where it was taken.

Does removing metadata reduce quality?

Not for JPG, PNG or WebP — only the metadata is removed and the image data is copied byte for byte. HEIC and AVIF are re-saved, as they can't be edited in place.

Will my photo turn sideways?

No. The orientation is kept (it's not personal), along with the colour profile, so the photo looks exactly the same.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser, so your images never leave your device — not even for a moment.
